Gallery: Gideon

In our faith journey, it's easy to assume that strength lies in our abilities, resolve, and capacity to handle life's challenges. We often celebrate self-reliance as a hallmark of maturity and success. Yet, the Bible teaches us a counterintuitive truth: God's strength shines brightest when we acknowledge our need for Him.

This truth is vividly illustrated in the story of Gideon, a man who experienced fear, doubt, and inadequacy. Gideon was not a natural warrior; he was a farmer called by God to lead Israel against the oppressive Midianites. The task was daunting, and Gideon knew it. His story, found in Judges 6-7, offers profound lessons about relying on God's strength rather than our own.
